After starting in January we are almost complete with our basement home theater and I need advice with speaker selection for the front and center channels and possibly the sub. I have set up the room for 7.1 and upgraded to a new Denon 2807 receiver for the HDMI connection and the bonus of...
I am in the final stages of setting up a Home Theater in my basement and I just purchased the Panasonic PT-AX100U projector. I currently have a Denon AVR 3300 but I think it is time for an upgrade. I am looking for a receiver that is 7.1 and can handle at least 5 video inputs. Here is the...
I think the video processor is out of my budget at this time after the construction, new receiver, some speakers, and the projector & screen plus I need to save a little for furniture. Perhaps I can add the video processor at a later date when I have the extra cash. For now though I should't...
cool, thanks for the input. MaxL - what speakers would you recommend for the front? Also any suggestions on the receiver? I was looking at the Denon AVR2807 since I was always happy with my old AVR3300 but if there is something better out there I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again for...
I currently have 4 DV-32 Venturi for the front and rear and the DV32CLR for my center channel from my previous 5.1 setup in my old apartment. current sub is an Audio Source SW-15 and my receiver is a Denon AVR 3300. I'm completing my basement theater now after being in my new home for almost a...
We're currently finishing up our new home theater in the basement and I'm looking for some advice on screen size and equipment. The screen wall is 14' across and the ceilings are 7' tall. The seating distance and projector mount is about 12' back from the screen. Ignore the support pole...
I'm in the same boat as brumie and I want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing since I am finishing my basement theater myself. The construction is almost complete and all the speaker wires for 7.1 sound are run. Now I must decide on the specific projector/screen equipment. I am planning...
Chris - I do have the dedicated room but I know very little in the projector area. Can you help advise me? For a 12' space how big of a screen should I get? Can I hook up multiple video sources to the projector at once without a problem, I want to have the following video sources running...
Michael & Norris if you don't mind me asking did you ever consider a projector and screen setup and if so why did you choose the TV. I have friends and family who keep offering their input and about 50% of them say I should do a projector with a 90" - 100" screen and the other 50% say TV. Just...
Thanks Michael and everyone else for their input. By the way my viewing distance will be about 10' My head starts to hurt when I read all these 1080 articles - so much information and some of it is over my head. This forum is great though because I have been able to get real information and...
Michael - not trying to hijack your thread but I too am considering this TV. After checking out some of the higher end AV stores and then visiting Best Buy, Circuit City, etc I have decided to purchase from Costo or Sam's because the prices are best with the stands and you can't beat the return...
I'm actually in the same boat is Michael right now. In the process of finishing my basement and setting up a HT area that is 12' x 12' Seating distance from the screen will be about 10' and the room has very controlled lighting conditions. I am looking for a screen size around 70" I have been...
Thank you for the input - it is great to hear your thoughts and ideas. I find myself spending more and more time on here as I want to be as informed as possible before making any big $$ purchases on a new TV since aside from the the room and construction that will be the biggest and most...
This month I am about to start on converting my unfinished basement, in my first home, into a HT and Gaming Area. I am very excited about this project and I have been saving and planning for a long time. I have been reading the forums here and I am very impressed by the knowledge and help that...
